Abstract
We generalize to dimension p > 1 the notion of string structure and di scuss the related obstruction. We apply our results to a model of boso nic p-branes propagating on a principal G-bundle, coupled to a Yang-Mi lls field and an antisymmetric tenser field and in the presence of a W ess-Zumino term in the Lagrangian. We construct the quantization line bundle and discuss the action of background gauge transformations on w ave functions.
